Mallory Hagan, the former Miss New York, is a student at Fashion Institute of Technology. She moved to Brooklyn in 2008.

From the Miss America Pageant:

"Mallory's triumphant walk across the stage was
just the beginning of a journey that will take
her to every corner of the country during her
year of service as Miss America 2013. She will
travel approximately 20,000 miles each month
speaking to audiences about her platform "Stop
it Now-Child Sexual Abuse" and acting as the
official National Goodwill Ambassador for
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals."

Hagan won a $50,000 scholarship -- which, as Gawker points out, would afford her approximately 5/6ths of one year at NYU.
